Townhouse, Beaminster

This townhouse garden had an awkward-shaped courtyard which was getting little use due its large water feature and lack of planting. We created a garden which now invites people outside to sit, dine, recline and enjoy the peace and quiet.

The neat, circular terrace unites the space where a rectangular shape would have clashed with the awkward angles of the boundary walls. The circle also allows for planting to envelop the terrace and as the sun moves around the circle, it spotlights the selection of delicate flowers and textured foliage.

Clay pavers and sandstone link the garden’s materials with that of the renovated home and give added texture to the space. A cascading water bowl provides ambience and reflection, as well as an attractive view from the home’s living spaces.
